Two girls each opened their own lemonade stand. They paid the same amount, c, for each lemon, but they collected different amounts of money from customers. The expressions in the table can be used to calculate the profit each girl made. The girls made the same amount of profit.

1st Girl 80.25-87c
2nd Girl 73.35 - 64c

What is C, the amount paid for each lemon?

A $0.30
B $1.02
C $0.45
D $6.68

Respuesta :

Answer: $0.45

I switched schools from normal to online did this twice and got it right so it is C 0.45

The value of c, the amount paid for each lemon, when the both the girls made the same amount of profit is $0.30.

What is an algebraic expression?

Algebraic expression are the expression which consist the variables, coefficients of variables and constants.

The algebraic expression are used represent the general problem in the mathematical way to solve them.

Two girls each opened their own lemonade stand.  They paid the same amount, c, for each lemon, but they collected different amounts of money from customers.

The expressions in the table can be used to calculate the profit each girl made.

The profit made by the first girl is,

[tex]80.25-87c[/tex]

The profit made by the second girl is,

[tex]73.35 - 64c[/tex]

Here, (c), is the amount paid for each lemon.

As, both the girls made the same amount of profit. Thus the above two expression should be equal as,

[tex]80.25-87c=73.35 - 64c\\87c-64c=80.25-73.35\\23c=6.9\\c=\dfrac{6.9}{23}\\c=0.3[/tex]

Hence, the value of c, the amount paid for each lemon, when the both the girls made the same amount of profit is $0.30.
